MARIA Indermuhle paid £7000 to have the fillings removed and replaced with non-amalgam ones. She also had to undergo intensive detox treatment for the posion.

A WOMAN feared she would die during a three-year nightmare illness – caused by her dental fillings.

Maria Indermuhle, 32, had the amalgam fillings done in her home city of Inverness a few weeks before her wedding in 2011. But after she moved to Switzerland with new husband Jacques she became so ill, doctors diagnosed her with MS.

And she only began to turn the corner after doctors in Switzerland said it was mercury poisoning, which can mimic MS symptoms.

She said: “I could feel my body was breaking down and not working. I thought I was dying.”

Interior designer Maria paid £7000 to have the fillings removed and replaced with non-amalgam ones. She also had an intensive detox treatment.

NHS Highland said they had investigated Maria’s complaint and she is free to contact the NHS Ombudsman if she is not satisfied with their response.
